BETTING PREVIEW
Freiburg will look to improve on their 5th placed standing in the Bundesliga when they take on 15th placed Wolfsburg, whom they beat 2-0 away earlier this season. Wolfsburg lost 3-0 and 2-1 on their last 2 visits here, back in 2011, and are still without an away win here in 9 attempts!
The results are too long ago to matter, but Freiburg have won 5 straight home games against Wolfsburg, who come here off a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Shalke, and that too a home game! They come here at the wrong time, as Freiburg have hit form in recent weeks, and have now won 6 of their last 12 games, losing just once! Indeed, their record in their last 4 games is tied 2nd best in the league!
At home, they are proving better and better. Their last 4 home games have seen them keep 4 clean sheets, a new club record. They have a brilliant chance at making it 5 clean sheets in a row at home, and that is why the defence will likely have a brilliant game.
Wolfsburg are struggling to score enough goals. They have conceded 37 but scored just 24 through 24 games, and 1 goal isn't going to be enough here. The visitors have lost 3 of their last 6 league games, with the only win coming against Greuther Furth, the side sitting bottom of the table.
As a coach, Dieter Hecking has never won a Bundesliga game against Freiburg: He has lost four and drawn two of his six duels with Freiburg (April 2010 – October 2012; all of them as Nurnberg coach).
THE BETTING VERDICT
I like Freiburg. Wolfsburg have not just never won away here, their manager (the 3rd this season!) has never beaten Freiburg before either.
Home win.
